Bug#832824: haskell-src-exts: fails to build on mips64el: ghc_8.hc:(.text+0x10c): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_GOT_DISP against `stg_ap_0_fast'

Version: 1.17.1-1
Severity: serious

Your package has been failing to build on mips64el for a while now:

I'm cc'ing debian-mips@ in case they have some insight.
